Press & Media Features About Our Birds of Prey Adventures

When we visited Aire View Infant School we took along 6 very different owls, ranging in size from a tiny grey Scops owl all the way up to a huge golden Eagle owl. The children had been learning about nocturnal animals, so one of the things we explained was how you can tell the difference between owls which hunt in the day and those which hunt at night, just by looking into their eyes!

Feathered visitors descended on Oakbank as part of a celebration marking World Falconry Day. We took our Birds to Oakbank School in Keighley as part of the Countryside alliance's Falconry 4 Schools project. This project is free for schools to do as it is funded by the Countryside Alliance and aims to teach students the history of Falconry and about how to care and look after Birds of Prey.
